<p style="text-align: left;">I'm a regular reader over at Acurazine, but I don't know how I missed <a href="http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=770786" target="_blank"><strong>this thread</strong></a>. The thread goes to show you need to be careful what you write about your significant other on the internet...as well as making sure you log off your computer or whatever computer you were on.</p>
<p>It all started earlier this month with a man-rant "My wife and my side chick *aka* my tl" by forum poster, Billy:</p>
<blockquote><p>I Love my GIRL and i take care of all of my responsibilities but everytime i save the money to buy something for the car is a problem. Even when i ask her and tell her what i am going to do in advance and at first she is ok with it then out of no where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY YOU GOT THAT SHIT IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY DOES THE CAR GET ALL THAT ATTENTION AND I DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>BITCH COUSE ALL THAT CARS DOES IS GIVE ME PLEASURE AND ALL YOU DO IS FUCKING COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I SWEAR SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS SINGLE BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS BAD AT TIMES SHE CAN BE THE RIDE OR DIE CHICK THAT I NEED AN SHE GAVE ME MY GREATEST LOVE IN LIFE WHICH IS MY BABY GIRL "Elena"</p>
<p>Do any of you guys have this same problem or is it just me being too into my car?</p></blockquote>
<p>....and then goes straight to divorce by page 2.</p>
<p>Wait what?!</p>
<p><span id="more-1649"></span></p>
<p>That's right. Billy's wifey got onto Billy's Acurazine profile and typed out this doozy!</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Billy,</p>
<p>This is your "wife" writing. Please note I am using this term loosely, because at the end of this letter, this will no longer be the case.</p>
<p>First of all, why are you putting our business on the internet? I have asked you and told you repeatedly that what happens to us is BETWEEN us. Clearly, your little plan to gain support backfired. Most of the people who commented on this thread AGREED WITH ME. The funny thing, is that they haven't even heard my side of the story.</p>
<p>So, since you insist on insulting me, I must insist on defending myself. Let's get a few things clear. When you are good, you are the greatest man I know. But ever since our child has been born, you have been nothing but a selfish idiot.</p>
<p>You are not the father of the year, so stop giving people the impression that you take care of her because I do all the work. She is 8 months old and I have been taking care of her ever since she was born. True, there was a month that you helped out because I called you a deadbeat dad, and you did take care of her after she was born because I had a C Section, but beyond that, the only time you take care of her is when you absolutely have to. Otherwise, you would rather pay for a sitter to do the job so you can spend your day online or working on your stupid car.</p>
<p>Which, incidentally, is under my name. Don't forget that.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the problem we have is not about the car. It is about your order of importance. Every time you have to take the car in for maintenance, I don't object. When you need to buy things that the car NEEDS, I don't object. But when you want to waste your money on frivolous items when you know we need to spend money on other things, LIKE YOUR CITIZENSHIP SO YOU CAN GET A DAMN JOB! then I have a problem. I think your peers would agree with me.</p>
<p>I love you more than any person I have ever loved in my life, but you are impossible to live with. I am working over 50 hours a week, I am taking 18 credits in school, and I am raising our daughter when I am not doing one or the other. All you do is work as a bouncer 3 nights a week. Dude, get real.</p>
<p>Why is it wrong that I want you to spend time with me, with us? When did I become a bitch because I want you in our life? Being in a relationship means sacrifice. Contrary to what you wrote, the "$13K worth of sh*t" that is in my closet was acquired BEFORE YOU CAME INTO THE PICTURE. I got that on my own. There is a reason why I don't have any new designer handbags, I have something much more valuable to me: MY DAUGHTER!!!</p>
<p>And, FYI, you are obligated to tell me what you are doing with your time and your money. I have a right to know where you are in case of emergency. Your "movements" as you call them are not what matters. What matters is that I know that you are safe and plan on coming home, because believe it or not I care about what happens to you. At least, I did.</p>
<p>In the end, I am sorry it came to this. I am sorry you felt that you had to talk to complete strangers about our problems instead of me. I am also sorry that this isn't going to work anymore, because I really do love you.</p>
<p>Perhaps next time you shouldn't leave your AcuraZine account logged on for me to view it. I have already opened up my own AcuraZine account, so if you delete this post, I will simply repost it under my own.</p>
<p>Hopefully with the next girl, you will have learned your lesson because I am tired of trying to raising you into being a man.</p>
<p>"And I'm on to the next one...."</p>
<p>Good Luck,<br />
Rachel</p>
<p>P.S. Thank you to all that offered support. These last few months have been very challenging to me and it very endearing to see that I have the support of strangers. For those of you that have met us, I apologize that you had to see this. This kind of behavior is not appropriate. We are not legally married, and he has been given the option many times to leave if he is so unhappy.</p>
<p>I look forward to seeing the replys on this!!! FYI, if you do catch me on AcuraZine in the future (as I prefer to spend my free time with my daughter and not the internet), you will find me under <a href="http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=770786&amp;page=2#" target="_blank">MDX<img src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif" alt="" /></a>. Have to upgrade to a bigger car for the baby and dogs!</p>
<p>And don't worry about me. I will be fine. It isn't the first time the man I relied on showed me that he was unreliable</p></blockquote>
<p>WOW. The folks over at Acurazine got some crazy forum nonsense every once in a while but this is pure epic! Dude got served. Dude has a kid. Dude is a bouncer. Dude is apparently not a citizen? wtf?! Get out the popcorn this is a long one at 59 pages last I checked. There's excerpts of Billy's Facebook writings, troll grammar, photochops, NSFW tangents, and even a Facebook Group. Thread of the Year? Possibly.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Very nice! I'm glad that this guy's story has finally finished and finished with a happy ending/settlement. A word of warning for those of you out there still looking for a shop though: Michael Quinn is still operating iDesign/Import Image in Walnut, CA. Unless you like wood supports, screws in your car, and overall horrible quality fitment, go somewhere else.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have a 350Z and a kit that you want to put on it, what would you do? For most enthusiasts, I'm guessing they'll take it to the body shop. Especially if the kit needed to be paint matched. Well this 350Z owner decided to take his car to a local bodyshop here in SoCal - actually in my hometown: iDesign/Import Image off Fairway in Walnut, CA. Our owner, CrimsonRockett, dropped $750 to get the kit painted and installed on the car, then proceeded to wait it out as weeks passed by. Like most times I dealt with bodyshops, they'll give you a date to pick-up and end up maybe bumping it a day to a week. I was given 2 weeks to get my car fixed and ended up waiting 3 1/2 weeks. So that I would understand, but when waiting that long you would expect a pristine job right? And most places deliver that extra care, but this place in Walnut man, puts me at a loss for words. Especially when they do something like the picture below to tack on a side skirt.</p>

<p>You can tell the time they spent into this  project since the woodscrews (wait what?!) aren't even in a straight line or evenly spaced. Even with that, it's not the end of this CrimsonRockett's problems: crappy fit, disaster of a paintjob with bad orange peel, overspray all over the car including tires and lights, misaligned body panels, missing parts, panel dings, more woodscrews and even found a piece of wood between the panel and woodscrew. Go ahead and join our owner, CrimsonRockett, at his home at my350Z.com and see more pics and more details about this story. Hopefully Mr. Rockett will be able to get his car back to snuff - another shop quoted him $4k to fix it all. Get iDesign/Import Image to pay it cause what you got was not worth $750. <em>Beware of rabid posters who are quick to blame the victim. Come on, whether the owner deserves it or not, it should be as bad as this.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So from the <a href="http://forums.beyond.ca/welcome.php">forums </a>that brought you <em>The Case of the RSX Hit &amp; Run</em> (news story <a href="http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/story.html?id=c2861d62-4d46-4b20-8c6c-532e65d5f7be">here</a>; actual forum posts <a href="http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=08ecb78465837ac283f9da382f171331&amp;threadid=168264&amp;perpage=40&amp;highlight=&amp;pagenumber=1">here</a>), they bring you a follow up that's 10x better: <em>The Case of Stolen Skyline featuring THE CLAW</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z88/WeeZo1/shockerloll-2.jpg" alt="null" width="305" height="321" /></p>
<p>The story begins at a used car lot up in Canada where they had a Skyline up for sale. A potential buyer has been coming by regularly with intent to buy the Skyline. Unfortunately, the intended buyer claimed to previously own a Skyline that was in accident which also severed his two middle finger. Anyhow, in a rather odd move, the salesman decides to let the buyer go on a solo test drive. Not surprisingly, the car never comes back.</p>
<p>Not long after the Skyline owner posts his misfortune on the forums, we get people who have sited the thief, but you would think the car would have quickly been garaged and parted. Instead, we get pictures of the thief driving the car, followed by Facebook profiles and pictures, and not long after followed by the thief's location. Next thing you know the thief became known as "The Claw," the obligatory photoshopped goodness flooded the site, forum check-ins came by the droves, and all ended with various YouTube postings of the Claw's home arrest!!!</p>
<p>Indeed, it is dumb of the salesman for allowing a solo test drive for such a rare car. Yet is quite dumber on the part of The Claw for parading around in said rare car as if it were actually his. Man, remind me never to piss off Beyond.ca...they are doing pretty well in the pwnage category.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 4 days about 14 pages have accumulated in this thread over at <a href="http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/garage/86748-vtecnicals-circuit-city-road-shop-installation.html">8thCivic.com</a>. What exactly happened? Forum member, Vtecnical, took his brand spanking new Civic Si, with 800 miles on the odometer, to a Circuity City and had an aftermarket radio installed. Next thing you know the car is being held at Honda dealership where they claim Circuity City installers had caused $12k in damage to the car and the car is unsafe to drive. ZOMG! I really don't know how a dealership can hold a customer's car against the customer's will. I also really don't know how it tallied upto $12k. That's almost half the cost of the car! If someone can find out exactly how Vtecnical came across the shoddy workjob please let me know cause after wading through all those pages I'm still not quite sure.</p>
<p>Check out the vid and hit the split to see Vtecnical's post that has you wondering if you should ever trust a place like Circuit City with your car...</p>

<p><span id="more-99"></span><br />
Here's the first post which was last updated on the 30th:</p>
<blockquote><p>The frustration I am feeling right now has left me in shock. Long story short, I had a Pioneer AVIC Z2 unit installed in my 2007 NPB FA5 with only 800 miles on the odometer.</p>
<p>Here is a run down...</p>
<p>Bought a Pioneer AVIC Z2 and other components for $3,190.62 in July with only 800 miles on the car under Ticket #1 312402748159 and Ticket #2 312402751067. The Road Shop manager suggested the audio parts and I went along with his suggestions. The work was done in Illinois by the Circuit City located at 551 N Milwaukee Ave, Vernon Hills, IL 60048.</p>
<p>Months of phone calls to the Circuit City Road Shop Manager.</p>
<p>I move to Glen Cove, New York in January 21.</p>
<p>Called Circuit City's 1-800 number and started case number 922885 on January 31.</p>
<p>Circuit City refunds $3,190.62 in March.</p>
<p>Circuit City directs me to the 3rd party insurance company. Circuit City cuts communication with me.</p>
<p>Car taken to North Shore Honda, Glen Cove NY Estimate of $12,119.64 in damages drafted by Honda and car is declared unsafe to drive.</p>
<p>Your views would be a huge help as I could use the support right now. I will have Honda's write up as soon as I get a copy.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>VTECnical</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So before it's time to ring in the New Year, I just had to post this up. Apparently this thread from NSXPrime has been spreading around the internet faster than the speed of light and indeed it is prolly the greatest form of "forum ownage" out there. Although most of it has been "modded" to death, you can pretty much get the gist of what happened. Short story: Spammer joins Prime. Spammer posts about winning lots o' cash from an internet site and that's how he got his NSX. Next thing you know WhoIs files and GoogleMaps are brought in to the picture. AWESOME!!! Poor guy, never had a chance as the actual thread gets resolved within the first page with his suspension. Soon after though, he was reinstated and more lies just spew forth and quickly followed by the obligatory photoshoppers and forum roll calls...it's a great read that'll sure have you chuckling into the New Year...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>On a side note...hope you all had a safe Labor Day Weekend...especially with this crazy heatwave. It was a nice 108 today at the house. Damn can't wait for winter...</em></p>
<p>Every once in a while a thread will light up the internet and over the past couple weeks this one thread has been passed around the enthusiast sites and back. This one comes from <a href="http://www.mx6.com" target="_blank">MX6.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"ok my new turbo arrived... no go coz everything was way off measurements etc. so I took off my old T3/T04e 57trim and welded 1/2 of the fins (not fully closed shut as you can see) on the hotside <img class="inlineimg" title="Smilie" src="http://www.mx6.com/forums/imagesmx6/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" /> used to spool @ 3000rpm &amp; get 5psi @4000rpm now only 2400rpm &amp; get 5psi by 3500rpm.</p>
<p>way more torque(throttle response was amazing too) @ around 2000 rpm it feelz like my dads supercharged v8 now ^^.... weight increase by a total of 3.5grams (6 fins) + maybe 2-3 more grams from the stainless steel weld spots (pic was taken when finz had minimal weld spots). btw it has a bit of the whining sound when spooling ... I like it alot <img class="inlineimg" title="Wink" src="http://www.mx6.com/forums/imagesmx6/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" /> but letz see how long it'll last."</p></blockquote>
<p>This member even included a wonderful picture:</p>

<p align="left">Near the end of the thread you can find an actual website dedicated to the turbo build, along with the video of the turbo spooling: <a href="http://www.copexturbo.com/" target="_blank">CopexTurbo.com</a></p>
